Application fil edOctober 12, 1920; set-e1 No. 416,434.

T 0 all whom it may concern. j I D Be it known that I. PETER J Name, a c1t1-,

zen of the United States, and resident of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display Receptacles, of which the following is a specification. 1

The present invention relates to display receptacles and more particularly to the type having an inner display cover which will display the contents of the receptacle when the outer cover is open and yet will prevent the surreptitious removal of the contents of the receptacle, an object of this invention being to provide an. inner display cover which will be inexpensive to manufacture and durable in. use.

To this and other ends, the invention consists of certain parts and combinations of partsall of which will be herein-after described, the novel features being pointed out in the ppended claims.

In the drawings I Fig. 1 is a plan view of a receptacle constructed in accordance with this invention, the outside cover being removed;

Fig. 2 is a view of the under side of the display cover showing the hinging flap bent to the plane of the display cover, parts being broken away and one of the side extensions of the upper layer being shown n dotted lines in the plane of the upper layer-,

Fig. 3 is an enlarged section on the line 8-3, Fig. 1; i

Fig. 4 shows the blank from which the display cover is made;

Fig. 5 is a vertical section through the re ceptacleg I Fig. 6 is a vertical section at right angles to the section shown in Fig. 5; and

Fig. 7 is a section on the line 7-7, Fig. 1.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 indicates the body of the receptacle which, in this instance, is of rectangular formation with vertical front, rear and side walls. The outside cover 2 with a surrounding flange 3 is hinged at i to the exterior of the rear wall of the receptacle and is movable on the receptacle to cover and uncover the latter.

The display cover which forms a novel part of this invention embodies an upper layer 5 and a lower layer 6. These two layers are preferably formed from a single piece of cardboard scored at l' so "that the layer 6'may be folded u'nderthe layer 5, both layers being providedwith registering openings 8. The layer, 6, inthis instance, is narrower than the layer and the latter preferablyhas secured to it along opposite edges, two strips 9 which, in this instance. are formed from extensions on the sheet blank on the opposite edges of thela'yer 5, said extensions being bent or turned inwardly on the underside of the layer 5 and adhesively secured to such under side. hen the under layer (3 is folded under the layer 5, its edges abut the edges of the strips 9. A thin sheet 10 may be employed to cover the under face of the layerG and the under faces of the strips 9 so that a pocket is provided between the layers 5 and 6, opening at one edge of said layers. In this pocket a transparent sheet 11 of celluloid or other .zylonite material is introduced. Owing to the fact'that the strips 9 are provided at opposite edges of the layer 6, the

edgesof these strips form abutments for the edges of the transparent sheet 11 and thus width than'the display cover andat the 80 make it possible to use a sheet narrower in same time obtaining a displaycover which is materially strengthened, these strips acting as reinforcing means for the upper layer and preventing the distortion of the latter.

The display cover is preferably hinged to the front wall of the receptacle 1, and to this end has a hinging strip, 12 which is preferably formed in one piece with the upper layer at the edge of the latteropposit'e the edge from which the lower layer projects. This strip is adhesively secured to the inner face of the front wall of the receptacle 1, its lower edge resting upon the bottom of the receptacle, thus defining the position at which the display cover shall lie in the receptacle. This position is further defined by ledges 13 provided on the side and rear w 11s of the receptacle, these ledges being formed bystrips 14 adhesively secured to said walls. In order to prevent the accidental displacement of the transparent sheet 11 from the pocket between the layers 5 and 6, a closure strip 15 may be adhesively se' of a thin, transparent sheet of material such as celluloid for closing the display openings. The pocket in Which this transparent or celluloid sheet is received is economically formed from cardboard in a manner to require a minimum amount of the transparent material, While at the same time preventing any loose movement of the material in the pocket. The position of the material in the pocket is defined by two strips on opposite sides of the lower layer and these strips act also to strengthen the display cover transversely to prevent any bulging of the latter.

\Vhat I-claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A display cover comprising two layers, one superimposed upon the other and said layers having registering openings, strips arranged along opposite edges of oneof the edges of the other layer the layers having registering openings, a thin sheet adhesively secured to the strips and to the layer situated between the'strips, and a transparent sheet arranged between the layers and hetween the stripe. v
